## What it is
Ariakit is an open-source toolkit of unstyled, primitive React components and hooks for building accessible web apps, design systems, and component libraries. It ships WAI-ARIA-compliant primitives (dialogs, comboboxes, menus, forms) plus styled copy-paste examples, with experimental Solid and Tailwind packages.

## Use cases
- build accessible react components
- create a design system with unstyled primitives
- add keyboard and screen reader support to dialogs and menus
- build a combobox with filtering in react
- wai-aria compliant ui components
- styled examples to copy into my web app
- accessible form controls for react

## When to choose
- you need accessible, WAI-ARIA-compliant primitives you can style yourself
- you are building a design system or component library on React
- you want copy-paste styled examples instead of a locked-in look
- you need fine-grained, lower-level control than a full component library provides

## When to avoid
- you want pre-styled, ready-to-use components with a complete design language
- your project is not React-based (Solid support is experimental)
- you need a full CSS framework rather than behavior-focused primitives

## Facets
